> This seems to be a simple confusion over terminology. According Python's
own terminology, the following class has a class method, a static method,
and an instance method:
class C(Object):
@classmethod
def factory(cls, *args, **kw):
"""My first argument is the class."""
@staticmethod
def something_else(*args, **kw):
"""I get no special args."""
def an_instance_method(self, *args, **kw):
"""I take an instance as my first arg."""
So, technically, where the documentation refers to a class method, you
really mean an instance method.
